Great Shape Bayside Success Stories

So happy that I made the decision to joint Great Shape. Matt and the team are knowledgeable and professional and really take care of you and provide support every step of the way. The in-studio classes are fabulous and are different enough so that you don’t get bored. Class sizes are small. During lockdown 2.0 they are doing absolutely everything possible to keep us all on track with live zoom classes multiple times per week and regular check ins to talk about how we are going. The option to access recordings of the zoom classes you miss has been amazing.

I can’t recommend highly enough what a brilliant place Great Shape Bayside is. Matt and the team, along with the members (a community within a community) welcomed me in with open arms. It’s a real social inclusive environment for all fitness levels, proving the support to achieve your goals. You can even bring your kids!

Highly recommend Matt and the team at Great Shape Cheltenham. Personal training studio with awesome small group classes. Forget about big impersonal gyms and being left to figure out your own path. Join a studio that feels like a community and strives to help you reach your goals. Being stuck in ISO....don’t worry Great Shape are providing online group classes that you can do at home, either live or recorded for later for when it suits you. Keep up the awesome work Matt!!

I’ve been training with Matt at Great Shape Bayside for quite a while now. Each training session is different, with Matt understanding the best and most suitable exercises to maximise results. He often introduces new equipment which definitely keeps things interesting.

I have been training at Great Shape Bayside for 3 & 1/2 years & it’s been the best thing I’ve done in a long time. I’ve been to gyms before & have found them large & impersonal with big classes & no close supervision. It’s the complete opposite at Great Shape Bayside. Matt Sutherland is an excellent personal trainer, always positive, professional & on your side. The group classes are small & friendly & you are closely monitored by your trainer. I can’t believe how much my body has toned up. I dropped a jean size just from the exercise. I haven’t felt this well for a really long time & I have made some lovely new friends.

I’ve spent nearly twelve months with Matt and the team at great shape. In this time the coaching and mentoring has helped me work towards my goals and I have lost almost 50kg. On top of this I had to have emergency surgery and Matt and the team has worked with me during the recovery period to ensure I didn’t over do it.

Love Great Shape Bayside! I’ve been training with Matt for over 10 years and have been able to accomplish so many physical obstacles I never before thought possible. Matt, as well as all the other trainers, is supportive, informative, and encouraging. The facilities can accommodate both personal and group training activities. There is an ever expanding variety of equipment to allow for a range of muscular and cardiovascular exercise varieties- you’ll never do the same routine twice! It never hurts to try something new, so I would highly recommend training at Great Shape Bayside to see what you may be able to achieve as well!

Love the laid back style of Matt and the team at GSB. They work me hard in my sessions but have a friendly intimate atmosphere, compared to the clinical nature of larger studios. The team are well skilled, they listen to my needs and apply their training with motivation and good humour. Make the most of the space they have and get the best out of their clients.

I have been working with Matt and his team at Great Shape Bayside 3 days a week for the past 4 years. My fitness and strength has greatly increased and without their support and encouragement I would not have achieved that. Matt and his team are great fun to work with.

I’ve been going to Great Shape Bayside for many years. I like it because the groups are still personal and not too big. I am not a gym person and have never stuck with exercise at a gym. Great Shape has helped me stay motivated about exercise. I like the trainers, the atmosphere and the classes.

I highly recommend Great Shape! Matt and the team are very friendly and the gym setup is great. The trainers make the classes challenging with lots of variety and good music. The nutrition coaching with Matt is also a great service.. the food is delicious and it's very motivating to see my progress each month as I work towards my goal.

I highly recommend Great Shape Bayside, all of the trainers have been extremely supportive through my weight loss and fitness journey from 1:1 personal training to group classes. All the trainers are knowledgeable, Matt and the team couldn't be more supportive and motivated to help you succeed.

Over the past year, becoming a member of Great Shape Bayside has been an invaluable experience that has changed my life. The trainers are personable, very accommodating and each session has been tailored to my individual needs. I have learnt so much about health, fitness and Well-being in general. Great Shape has guided me in establishing a cleaner diet and routines involving cardio, core and strength training. The staff have worked with me to increase my confidence in achieving set goals. I highly recommend Great Shape to anyone looking to make important lifestyle changes. Matt Sutherland, the Manager, couldn't be a nicer guy and his interest in his clients is most genuine!

Matt leads his classes with terrific enthusiasm and positivity and his technical know-how means that his clients each get the best out of the sessions. He ensures that individual needs, even within a group class, are catered for. He keeps it interesting with a good variety of activities, and his approach makes for a supportive, fun atmosphere.
